The next day Marina went with Philip, Helia and Flora to Linphea to visit Flora's parents and introduce Helia to them
Helia, Flora finally! Rose cheered as the arrived
Marina looked delighted at the many flowers and trees
Helia laughed at Rose and twirled her around making her giggle with pleasure and excitement
Flora, you have to see my new dolls I made some real flowers grow on their dresses!
Of course I'll look at them honey but we have two visitors now
Rose this is Mary and Philip
Hello nice meeting you the little girl beamed and curtsied even though she was the princess
Same goes for you, your highness Philip answered
Marina didn't care that she was introduced to a princess and just kneeled down before the girl and tried to make a conversation
Oh Flo, your sister is so adorable
She's very naughty too right Rose?
Sometimes, her sister admitted honestly making everyone else laugh
Come mummy and daddy are waiting
The king and queen were delighted to see their eldest daughter again
Mummy, Daddy this is Helia my pacifist knight and saviour Flora blushed
It's an honour meeting you your majesties he said bowing gracefully
So you're the one our Flora talks about since last school year the king chuckled
She did describe you very well; tall lean, handsome and gentle the queen laughed soft at her daughter's face that turned red
You're the one who saved her from the Lio Dragerus! Rose added
That is right little one Helia smiled and ruffled through her hair
Mum, Dad this is my new roommate Marina Mohamed or for short Mary and Helia's new roommate Philip Wallace
I'm grateful that you allowed us to come to your beautiful kingdom your majesties Marina spoke soft and curtsied
I'm honoured to meet you King Arthur and Queen Rosaline Philip bowed
The royal couple nodded and smiled warm at them
Marina has the same green eyes as our Flora, Rosaline remarked
She's also just as sweet as Flora, your majesty
Stop the formality at once we're on Linphea not so formal as other realms you can just say mum or aunt Rosa to me and same counts for Flora's dad
Mary sweetie, you and Philip must call us Aunt Rosa and Uncle Arthur just like all of Flora's friends
Mummy, may we play in the garden now? Rose begged
Later sweetie it's lunch time her mum smiled
So Philip which realm are you from? Arthur informed
I'm from Earth; the country England to be exactly in the capital city London
Isn't England a kingdom too?
Yes it is but you have a prime minister too so the ruling isn't all in hands of the royal family
Interesting very interesting Arthur mumbled deep in thoughts how is nature there?
It is very beautiful in the south but real wild nature you'll find more in Ireland and Scotland
What made you move to another dimension totally different from where you grew up?
It was just a visit we made with Mary's grandma but then I lost my heart to red fountain and I decided to stay its really enchanting Helia and I can sketch every waterfall every bird there for hours
You're an artist right Helia?
Yes your majesty uh…I mean father; it's my passion but I also attend the normal classes at school but I really enjoy making portraits from Flora and writing poems for and about her
And what will you do after red fountain?
I'm going to college and study for lawyer specialised in kids
That's very interesting and when do you intend on marrying my little girl?
As soon as she is ready for it; I know she isn't right now and I won't stop her from finishing high school, college and a career
You're very sweet Helia, Rosaline said soft but Flora is the crown princess
I am very aware of that mother but you and father and both still young and it wouldn't be fair to hand over the throne to Flora as soon as she finishes high school as her friend and love one I plea to let her pursue her dreams
He's got a good point there Aunt Rosa because on my planet the young royals even those in line for the throne just get full education until their master degree and most of them just work for commoners after that
Well maybe we can learn something from Earth, Arthur smiled and are you from a nature realm Marina?
To my big regret not she smiled I'm from Indonesia and Holland where there are only houses and buildings there and of course load of water that they had to build dykes; Indonesia is very pretty but I don't belong there
You're not feeling at home there? Rosaline asked
Not at all it's cold and wet in Holland but to be honest I never fitted in anywhere but my little group of friends that contains for more than half my cousins but I found Flora and the others when I came to Magix and we're getting along great
That's great sweetie so what power do you posses?
I really wouldn't know Flora said I have the power of peace and empathy but I can't transform yet
Don't you worry about that, our flora will help you Arthur comforted her
Mummy, we're finished may we play outside now? Rose asked
You may honey but aren't the others a bit tired of the flight?
A bit Flora and Marina admitted but the boys went to play with Rose outside
Come I'll show you my room
Wow Flo, it's beautiful with all the different tones of pink and green and all the plants
Thanks ehm…do you want one of the guest rooms or will you stay with me?
I'll stay with you so we have all night and day to chat
Phew I'm glad to hear that Flora laughed I enjoy your company and your stories about Earth it's fascinating
Your parents don't mind that you have pictures of you and Helia all over your dorm?
No, I'm eighteen and they know he's not just a fling or crush; do you have pictures of you and Philip in your room?
Uh…not exactly just a few where we are with the entire group except for Alexia, Christy, Annie and Melody
One picture I framed that's of David, Philip, Stephan, Brad and Jorge on Christmas seven years ago
It took me nearly a whole school year to admit to Helia how I felt
Suddenly a dark purple cloud appeared in the room
Darcy I know it's you; it's just Flora and I you can reveal yourself
The fairies were startled as the saw the young witch with bruises and bandage around her head
Sweetie, what happened to you? Marina asked concerned
Darcy began to sob and told them the story how Jared a red fountain student saved her yesterday evening from a stalker and how she fell for him at once today they went on a date but Icy and Stormy crashed in and humiliated and beat her up after Jared caught a lightening flash for her that Stormy had sent
Now he's hurt because of me she cried
Everything will turn out right don't worry Flora soothed her
